Fly, Fly Away Chords – Catch Me If You Can
 
[Verse 1]
F#                               C#
When I was a child, my eyes were clear, I saw the good side
B                                                     D#mC#
That's the kind of second sight that doesn't last too long
F#                             C#
But when I was lost, I heard a voice that brought me healing.
B                                                      D#m – C#
That's the kind of special hope he brought me with his song
G#m                                 D#m
People only saw the doctor, lawyer, Indian chief
G#m                                D#m
But he was just a lonely little boy to me
G#m                                      D#m
With his sweet and gentle touch, he sure unlocked my soul
   D                  Bm7                       C#
So in return I surely want to help to, set him free
 
 
[Chorus]
                         F#
Yeah now I wanna see him fly, fly
     D#m
I'll be your alibi, my baby
G#m            C#
Fly, fly, fly away
                         F#
We didn't get to say goodbye, goodbye
   D#m
No need to tell me why, my baby
G#m                       C#                 F#
Maybe it's because you'll fly back home to me one day
 
 
[Verse 2]
F#                                 C#
Men who they call real were really fakes who left me nothing
B                                               D#m – C#
But this man they call a fake gave me something real
F#                                         C#
I've known cruel, cruel men with Christian names that taught me manners
B                                            D#m – C#
But this man without a name taught me how to feel
G#m                                           D#m
They only saw the magic tricks, the smoke and mirrors
G#m                           D#m
Was I the only one to ever see the boy?
G#m                                            D#m
So now they wanna clip his precious wings, and bring him down!
    D                            Bm                        C#
But in his heart and soul’s the kind of good they can’t destroy!
 
 
[Chorus]
                          F#
Yeah, now I wanna see him fly, fly
     D#m
I'll be your alibi, my baby
G#m            C#
Fly, fly, fly away
                         F#
We didn't get to say goodbye, goodbye
   D#m
No need to tell me why, my baby
G#m                       C#                 F#
Maybe it's because you'll fly back home to me one day
 
 
[Bridge]
A                                              E
Baby, when you're in the clouds, please keep a lookout
Bm                                          C#         D
Maybe, darling, find a hideaway for you and I, you and I
 
 
[Chorus]
                  G
Then I’ll see you fly, fly
     Em
I'll be your alibi, my baby
Am             D
Fly, fly, fly away
                         G
We didn't get to say goodbye, goodbye
   Em
No need to tell me why, my baby
Am                        D                  G
Maybe it's because you'll fly back home to me one day
Am                        D                  G
Maybe it's because you'll fly back home to me one day
Am                        D                  G
Maybe it's because you'll fly back home to me one day
Bm
And I'll be waiting for you there
       Am                  Cm  G
You'll fly back home to me one day

Wow! I was just about to tab this out, good thing I found this. Simplified from the official sheet music, but extremely accurate. I would suggest transposing it to make it easier to play, but the key change kind of jinxes that.
